Lyrics
Train Wreck Road (Partial capo on 2nd fret, 543, in E)
D
I drank up all the money that fixin’ brakes was for
C G D
But you need them on Train Wreck Road.
We were really traveling, full steam ahead
But that whistle blew on Train Wreck Road. //on Train Wreck Rd
I tried to argue with 4,000 tons of steel.
It just laughed at me on Train Wreck Road.
Reason never kept me from doing what I feel,
But I paid the price on Train Wreck Road. //on Train Wreck Rd
I know I promised to love and keep you safe
I just never counted on Train Wreck Road.
I’d change my wild ways, but it’s too late
Since I lost you on Train Wreck Road. //on Train Wreck Rd.
Storm clouds are rattling and flashing lights in the sky.
The stream has jumped its banks on Train Wreck Road.
Let the water take me, wash away my sorry life.
Lay me down on Train Wreck Road. //on Train Wreck Rd.
Maybe my soul will rise up, or go the other way.
I don’t care as I roll on Train Wreck Road.
I wonder if I’ll get any mercy that way
From the darkness on Train Wreck Road.
There’s another whistle blowing. These memories don’t stop for nothing.
They just roar across Train Wreck Road.
I think I’ll take my hands off the wheel and I’m not bluffing.
Say goodbye to Train Wreck Road.
